Stop Using Plastic Straws and Make a HUGE Impact!

Earth Day is almost upon us, and our friends over at UKonserve have some interesting facts and products to share with you!

Americans use 500 million plastic straws every day. Placed end to end, the number of disposable straws used in the U.S. in the past four days could reach the moon. We also use enough to fill over 125school buses with plastic straws every day—that’s 46,000 school buses every year full of straws.

Help eliminate plastic straws from the waste stream: single-use straws and use our stainless steel alternative. One reusable straw can replace thousands of throwaways. Our friends at UKonserve have a great reuseable straw 2 pack- check it out and make a BIG impact, with a small change!

Just in time for Earth Day, we’d like to share with you an innovative free app offered by our non-profit partner, Cool the Earth. Koda Quest is an app for smartphones and tablets that engages kids, ages 5-10, in taking missions to reduce energy and waste. We think eco-friendly parents will appreciate having an app that instills green habits at home. If you’re looking for something meaningful for your kids to do on Earth Day, try Koda Quest in the Apple App Store or Google Play.

About Me

Welcome to my little corner of the blog-o-sphere, and Bless Your Hearts, maybe some of ya'll will read my blog and get a good laugh or two along the way! This blog is alot like cooking- a little of this and a little of that, but it all makes the blog better than following a set recipe (niche), just like when your Mama or Grandma cooks! Just like the saying "Bless her/his heart". I've heard it all my life, from Mom and my Southern relatives (yes, there is a Yankee side, sorry Robert E. Lee), and now I've caught myself saying it. Motherhood does that to you- brings out stuff you thought you'd gotten away from. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, and sit down and hopefully, you'll stay awhile and come back for more! The WELCOME mat is out, ya'll come in!
